Miffed With DMK, Congress May Contest Alone in TN Polls

Senior leadership of the party confirmed that the Congress is thinking of “other alternatives”.

Indicative of a fissure in the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)-Indian National Congress (INC) alliance, senior party leaders of the latter said that they may contest elections alone if DMK refuses to give them more than 18 seats to contest. While the Congress had asked for 30 seats this election, the DMK has been adamant that it can offer only 18.
